JConcepts Toolbox and Storage Boxes

Set for release in November,  JConcepts has unveiled its new range of Toolbox and Storage box options.  In development for quite some time, the Toolbox, designed from the ground up specifically for RC, incorporates many features already used in the pits but is modelled for the RC enthusiast.  One of the Florida company’s most expensive injection-molded items to date, the project began by designing the lower box, which can be paired with two different functional covers.  A racer’s best friend, the JC team aimed to combine aspects of their favourite options into three usable choices for travel or home organisation.  One key aspect of this project was enhancing organisation and refining the system.  While dividers in traditional storage boxes are handy, they often slide, move, or fall out during use.  JConcepts set out to secure these dividers by designing a system where they are fixed with screws from the underside of the box.  All dividers can be locked into place with the included hardware.  The box’s interior has been rearranged to allow more RC-specific space and compartments.

JConcepts Droop Gauge & Blocks

JConcepts has released a new Droop Gauge & Droop Blocks for both 1:8 & 1:10 use.  With droop one of the most important adjustments on an RC vehicle, JConcepts set out to create a versatile yet accurate system to add to their lineup.  Spencer Rivkin was heavily involved in this project, pushing the idea as a necessary accessory from the JC team. Going back to his days working with mentor Brian Kinwald, Spencer was taught to adjust droop by measuring the axle height relative to the bottom of the chassis.  The blocks are built at 36mm in height for 1:8 Offroad racing, and 30mm is available by rotating the block 90 degrees for 1:10 racing.  The all-aluminium machined blocks are both tall and lightweight, designed to fit into the larger compartments of a racer’s toolbox.  The black anodised item is highlighted with an attached blue anodised piece, laser-etched and marked for height convenience.  The blocks are ineffective without a proper measuring device, and the JConcepts droop gauge is labeled in multiple ways to suit the scale of the offroad vehicle.
